EXTRA-TIME with Vusumuzi Mourinho Ndlovu: EL CLASSICO, To Be Continued ....... .......
The last two El Classicos have been a total different ball game from the first this season. Los Braugrana may be having one hand on the La Liga but the Kings of Spain cup defeat will surely hurt especial ahead of the Champions League semifinals.
After that massacre at the Nou Camp, a Barca fan expressed relief when he said he was happy because Mourinho had no answer to Spanish football but was quickly reminded of
what happened to them in last year's Champions League semis. A renowned local Catalan told me that they won’t lose to a team that is not disciplined defensively.
Against the best passing and most offensive club in world football, Mourinho opted for three defensive midfielders, one playmaker and two wingers upfront in a bid to prevent Barca get into their rhythm and utilise CR7's pace upfront. If there weren't disciplined defensively Barca could have torn them apart within 120 minutes. It took Casillas more than 70 minutes to save a goal bound shot which further highlights how well-organised the Carvalho led defense was. Something very special was needed to break that water-tight defense.
A respected overseas based academy coach was spot on in saying that Mourinho like most tacticians, doesn't lose twice to the same team. A popular sports presenter jokingly said that
Mourinho was the man of the match, in reference to his shrewd tactics that handed Real Madrid their first over Barcelona in three years.
The semifinal El Classicos will be totally different as shown by how Los Blancos controlled the first half followed by Barca dictating the pace after the interval. Guardiola has to find another keys, the locks have been changed.
mourinho will only win the semis on 1 condition that he wins the 1st leg with a 2 or 3 goal margin the he defends his win at the camp nou, at camp nou its obvious he will not win and if he let barca score an away goal at bernabau then we are done and a draw be it a 2,3,1 all draw is good for barca and if mourinho does nt win tmorow he is out cz at camp nou its fire thru out the 90mins, otherwise he is going to give all his defenders police dogs to guard against messi and his team i tell u,u los blancos fans rather mourinho fans think the game is decided like nw in ur favour bt u shall c how deadly the blaugrana is and bear in mind that tmorows game is the decider and if u fail to win u will nt be able to bear the heat from the camp nou blast furnace.
